UMH 103: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
thy justice like mountains high soaring above
thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

3. To all, life thou givest, to both great and small;
in all life thou livest, the true life of all;
we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
and wither and perish, but naught changeth thee.

4. Thou reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light;
thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight;
all laud we would render: O help us to see
'tis only the splendor of light hideth thee.

UMH 103: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Hymns and songs of praises are tools for spiritual worship and also a form of prayer. It is also a scriptural recommendation. Yes, God recommended singing songs or hymns in the Bible.

In both Ephesians 5:19 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, and Colossians 3:16, "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." Paul preached about gathering believers and making songs of praise and singing of hymns.

These hymns are the collections of the united Methodist Church Hymnal book. They may be similar with the hymns in SS&S book or the Anglican Ancient and Modern Hymnal. But what make them different is the numbering and titles. Hymns are mostly searched according to title and the denominations.

 For example, You can find a hymn like Abide with me fast fall... as A&M 27 - Abide with me: fast falls the eventide in the Anglican hymn book number and also found in SS&S - ABIDE WITH ME, FAST FALLS THE EVEN-TIDE - SS&S 297.

UMH 103: Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise. Be richly blessed as you sing unto the Lord!
